From now on I will list GamebaseST's progress from v3.1 to the next update. The archive will be released with only these differences from now so no will have to download the whole thing again once they have it:

Count3125 - Black Sect - French version replaced with English version, however, the French version remains in the archive, fantastic release Klaz!3126 - Chimera - Fabulous find by the Beast and a great crack by Atari Legend!3127 - Essex - rare text adventure cracked by Atari Legend.3127 - Zynaps - game replaced with superb trained Elite version.3127 - Stario's Christmas - replaced with another great release from Elite.3128 - Division One 92 - Another great AL release now in the database.

The database part is fully up to date with version v3.1d so you can see what games and extras are included in the current version. For those who wish to submit material for GamebaseST should always look here first to see if we already have it.

Very long time since I've been around here, but poked my nose in while I was checking out some bookmarks.

I believe I can explain what happened to the http://www.gamebasest.com URL. I had the name registered up until recently, and it was using an old email address I hardly use now as its admin account. So I didn't get to see the warning msg that it was about to expire, and now some bugger has cyber-squatted it, can you believe it. So I doubt there is any chance of getting this URL back now (well done squatters).

My apologies for letting this happen, but tbh I wasn't even aware that the GBST project was still ongoing. I'm amazed to see its actually stronger than ever. Funny to think it was so long ago when Paul and I worked together on it. Lost of things have changed for me, I now have a 8 month old daughter, and am finding it more difficult to find time for hobbies, but you can be sure I'm going to install 3.1d and check it out.

I think that 'cyber-squatter' you mention is actually a domain holding page that the ISP has put on the site to earn extra revenue from an expired domain. Since you are the previous domain holder you should be able to get it back without problems. If you can get it back you could always change the pass and hand the details over to someone else if you have no spare time to do it yourself.

Unfortunately it was never run from an ISP as such, but rather a direct domain registration from joker.com, including DNS, then pointed to Pauls webpage. I've gone back to check, but there is no option to re-acquire the name as it has now been registered by another entity.

Under the ACPA (Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act) a cybersquatter can be held liable for actual damages or statutory damages in the amount of a maximum of $100,000 for each name found to be in violation.
